Chapter 16 The Gun Collector

The central square between high-rise buildings is very inconspicuous from the air. It makes sense to realize the word "Guang" after getting off the car on the ground. Anyway, Sun Xiang feels that this square will never be smaller than the People's Square in Shanghai.There are odd-shaped sculptures in the square, people walking, and fountains spraying water, but Sun Xiang always felt that something was missing. After careful consideration, he finally found that there seemed to be missing plants, whether it was flowers or trees. , You can't even see the soil, it is completely covered by the pavement, and all the scenery is artificially modified.

It was the first time for the team members to come to this kind of city where various alien races gathered. They felt that the square was like a zoo. There were people of different colors and shapes. Fortunately, most of them walked on two legs. Yes, here is a civilization exchange center.The appearance of Sun Xiang and the others is very ordinary here. There are many people in the square who look similar to them. They stand here inconspicuously.A civilization and a race have a language, and no one can learn so many languages. The communication between people in the square basically uses a translator. Without a translator, it will be difficult to move here.

After getting a little familiar with the environment, everyone began to discuss what to do next. The plan they originally thought of didn't seem to work now.At this moment, a scream sounded from behind them, and everyone looked back. One had two horns on his head, his skin was already wrinkled, and his complexion was blue. The guy who looked a little old was opening his mouth. Looking at them blankly, if you see this guy on the street of an earth city, it is probably not him who will scream, but all the people on earth who see him, except that he doesn't have a pair of bat wings, this guy has He really looks like the legendary demon, but now he is staring blankly at everyone.

Everyone felt a little embarrassed after being stared at by him, "Is there something wrong with our clothes?" Sun Xiang thought to himself, he walked up to the "demon" and said, "Sir, is there any problem?"

The dazed "devil" murmured: "The fire weapon is actually a fire weapon. I can already smell the special smell of fire." While speaking, he twitched his nose and stretched his hand towards Sun Xiang's back. The weapon rucksack on the shoulder (the base has designed a rucksack, which has a certain degree of concealment, and is mainly prepared for occasions where it is not suitable to expose weapons.).

Sun Xiang understood from the other party's befuddled expression that this person had no malicious intentions, but his target was the firearm he was carrying (Sun Xiang was deeply impressed by the fact that the other party could use his nose to find the weapon disguised in the backpack, and dogs on the earth were no more than that. .), out of caution, Sun Xiang took a step back.This step made the man wake up. After standing still, he stroked his left chest with his right hand, then slightly bowed his upper body, and then politely greeted Sun Xiang and the others, "Hi everyone."

Sun Xiang and the others guessed that the other party was saluting to them. Although everyone who didn't know the etiquette of the other party thought it was awkward to salute like this in the square, they still followed the same pattern and returned the same salute.

"I'm Kaman from Vilas. I'm an interstellar businessman and a weapon collector. I was really presumptuous just now. I found the smell of gunpowder weapons from you, and I'm not sure about this short-term existence in various civilizations. I have a special liking for weapons in history, so I couldn't help it, so I took the action just now, and I apologize for my behavior." Kaman saluted everyone again.

"This Kaman is really polite. Maybe you should find someone familiar with this unfamiliar place. This Kaman seems to be someone worthy of friendship." Sun Xiang said while thinking: "It's okay, it's okay, We don't mind." Sun Xiang quickly said with a smile.

"Excuse me for making an unfeeling request, but I wonder if I could ask you to show me the weapons on your back?" Kaman asked sincerely.

Sun Xiang turned his head to look at his companions, took off the backpack on his shoulders, and said enthusiastically: "No problem, it's totally possible, it's not presumptuous." He took out the GP12 with the magazine out of the bag, Handed it to Carmen.

After taking the gun, Kaman never took his eyes off it. He looked over and over carefully at the structure and details of the gun in his hand. His eyes and movements definitely treated the gun in his hand with an attitude of appreciating works of art.Finally he stopped fiddling with the gun, held the handle with his left hand, stroked the gun body with his right hand, looked up at Sun Xiang eagerly and said: "This gun is different from the ones I collected, it is a gunpowder weapon The firearms of the later period, the whole gun has no bullet port, and it is fired continuously, which means that the gun uses a shaping propellant, and this propellant must not leave residue after burning, otherwise the gun will be destroyed. It can’t be fired, and it will jam as soon as it is shot. The civilization that can manufacture this kind of propellant must have developed a certain amount of chemical technology. The structure of the suppression system of this gun is relatively complicated, and it cannot be made without certain mechanical manufacturing capabilities. The metal parts of the gun body are carefully crafted, the small-caliber barrel and the parts made of a large number of synthetic materials make the whole gun very light and practical, and the usual careful maintenance makes the whole gun The gun is like new." Kaman praised the gun in his hand incessantly, and Sun Xiang could hear some meaning in his words. It turned out that this Kaman thought that this gun was also a collectible, and he really hoped that he would Can be transferred.At present, it seems that in the environment of this planet, firearms are basically useless. If there is an emergency, the other team members still have four guns in their hands.This gun is of little value. Rather than letting Kaman buy it, it is better to give it to him and make friends with him. Thinking of this, Sun Xiang patted the gun in Kaman's hand and said: "I think Mr. Kaman is a gun lover. Since you like this gun so much, I will give it to you."

"Give it to me?" Kaman asked with staring eyes, as if he suddenly understood again, holding the gun in both hands on his chest, grinning and said: "Give it to me, how can this work? Can you sell it to I, I have already thanked you very much, and I must not let you suffer losses."

loss!What can I lose?If you want another gun, you just need to go back and apply for it. Sun Xiang thought so in his heart, but he was determined to give this gun away.

One of Sun Xiang and Kaman was determined to give it away, and the other was determined to buy it. Suzanne, who couldn't stand the stalemate, said beside him: "Don't argue, Mr. Kaman, please listen to me, we are only in Handon for the first time. , I don’t know anything about this planet, can you help us get acquainted with the situation here as much as possible, if you don’t bother, help us find a way, find a job for us, and you will regard this gun as the reward for these help.”

Of course, Sun Xiang had no objection, and Kaman was also full of praise when he heard the words of the beautiful woman Suzanne.Sun Xiang took off the weapon rucksack and handed it to Kaman together with the magazines inside. Kaman thanked him again and again, and said: "What era's weapons match what era's equipment, the backpack, magazines and this gun really match each other perfectly. , It is definitely a good item for the whole collection." His words made Sun Xiang and others very helpless, and the active guns in their hands were collected as antiques.

After Kaman put away the gun carefully, Sun Xiang introduced the other four team members to him.Kaman thought about the promise just now, and then asked: "Since you have come to Handon, why don't you learn about it before you come? Do you have any goals here? If you find it convenient, you can let me You know, it’s easy to help that way.”

Sun Xiang feels that Kaman is a reliable person, but the base has its own rules, and it is impossible to tell the truth completely and without reservation. Now we can only pick out some facts that can be said and deal with them before telling him, " Mr. Kaman, we were born on a remote planet. For our future life and development, we plan to join a chamber of commerce. The chamber of commerce agreed with us to join, but in order to test our ability, the chamber of commerce asked us to Familiarize yourself with the commercial city by your own ability, and hope that we can survive in the commercial city. It would be even better if we can gain business experience. We chose Johntown among the commercial planets provided by the chamber of commerce, so we Just come over."
